[NYCMESBRNX]

Wreatlemania 3 was a magical day. I was a teenager then, it was like Christmas in March.

[mcsguardianangel]

I love to see Justin sing ATB. Itd be hilarious.

[wellythonvieira]

[darkangel3166]

God I can't Believe that Justin Bieber is going to Sing America the Beautiful at WrestleMania 27

we're gone from Aretha Franklin To Justin Bieber

[DrewFloyd]

@KMMALQWM Dont worry, justin wont be singing.

[MrSickofstupidity]

@KMMALQWM Justin Bieber is a closet faggot.

[raiderldp]

@KMMALQWM seriously? Wow! how tragic!

[tkey3191]

Now this is how you perform America The Beautiful. The legendary Aretha Franklin. Screw Justin Beiber. Has WWE lost their damn minds?!

[VFBBONJOVI1]

epic moment for wrestling and music ;)

[orkanen]

Vince McMahon is god!

[adamdicy]

@orkanen You got that right any man who brings this kind of entertainment each and every year deserves all the recognition in the world...me being a WWE fan for almost 24 years.

[oatmealdog]

It's funny when you press the soccer ball while watching this `

[Brianmac722]

MISSSSS ARETHAAAA FRANKLINNNNNNN

[philaman1972]

The aura of this event is something that will not be duplicated for many years, if ever again. Back then, cable was *just starting* to go national. Our area of the city did not have it yet so the only way to see it the same day was either via satellite or closed-circuit TV. I saw it about two months later off a satellite tape feed. Back then, it would take months for new wrestling videos to come out to the neighborhood video store.

[AlexDCl]

Put Aretha in the WWE HOF, along with Ali & Lauper.

[michaelminer1]

what a stunning video she is truly the queen of all queens

[yonkeykong1988]

this event had a larger than life feel

[Fanik8]

This is the most soulful and beautiful rendition of "America the Beautiful" in WrestleMania history with Rockin' Robin a close second.

[josephD32]

@Fanik8 Don't forget about Ray Charles at WrestleMania 2, although this is right there with it. This was awesome back in the day.

[Fanik8]

Eh, yeah I'm not saying that Ray Charles' rendition wasn't good, I just put Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight 1 and 2....btw you know I was kidding about Rockin' Robin, lol. Nice try though.

[MIG316IJKYA]

[eugenehilter09]

[dexilef]

Leave it to Ms. Yaskam to find the best of Aretha///she is like Tom Terrific and his magic bag!!! We love you dear and of course RE or we wouldn't even be posting,,, ;-)

[cascadeboi]

[tirayi]

Do you know how difficult it is to play the piano with nails that long?

The woman has been doing it for forty years and i've NEVER seen her hit a wrong key. Or worse yet snap one of them bitches.

[devilmirror1]

Yaskam, you are the gift that just keeps on giving. LOL

Also, long live the Queen of Soul.
